The 100 release of Firefox turned half of my desktop web site shortcut icons to PDF icons. Why? And why only some? I have some URL shortcuts that I have no control over the icon (no change icon selection under properties). How do I get these changed back, other than redoing all the changed ones? Thanks, Wayne

I noticed the same thing. When Firefox is set as the PDF file handler the icon for PDF files has changed, as in image 1. Shortcuts to PDF web files still look the same, as in image 2.
